Circle the Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is structured to help students practice identifying addition problems that result in specific sums. Each section of the worksheet has a target number highlighted in a bold color on the left side, followed by a series of addition problems to the right. The instruction is to circle the addition problems that correctly add up to the target number on the left. This format allows students to focus on one target sum at a time and find the corresponding correct addition equations from a given set.

The worksheet’s goal is to reinforce the students’ ability to quickly identify and understand addition pairs that result in specific numbers. It is an exercise in number recognition and addition fact fluency, allowing students to practice and memorize the sum of small numbers. This activity also enhances the students’ analytical skills as they must evaluate each problem to determine if it matches the target sum. Through this practice, students can strengthen their mental math skills, an important foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
